Afore Ye Go

I was chatting to my daughter about Facebook yesterday and we both expressed amusement at the notion of ‘friends’ in that context.

When she was in South Africa, she was close chums with a Dutch girl when they discovered they hadn’t befriended each other on Facebook and therefore they couldn’t be real friends at all.

I’ve ‘friended’ one or two people on Facebook, although I’ve never ‘poked’ anyone, but it is an odd thing that you can consider yourself friends with someone you’ve never met except through the medium of the interweb.

One such for me is Yorkshire Pudding — cultural adversary, spelling and punctuation nemesis and fellow smiling cynic.

I find those 100 Things To Do Before You Die books rather irritating. The people who write them are just showing off and out to make the rest of us feel like miserable failures, and surely a more useful list would be the things we should avoid doing.

So having set the challenge and partly responded on YP’s blog, I felt it was only fair to complete my own personal list of things to avoid:

Owning a cat.

Naming my children Harper Seven, Guilford Four or Hull City Nil.

Leaping any tall buildings (it’s a long way back down).

Writing a Regency romance novel.

Wing-walking.

Sleeping with Cheryl Cole (might as well make a positive out of a negative).

Appearing on Who Do You Think You Are? and discovering I’m the last of the Romanovs.

Having an accident that is no-one’s fault but my own and being unable to sue.

Love your list of things to avoid ! I’ve already eaten the last chocolate in the box and I would love to go on a karaoke stage though;o)
I rarely go on facebook and I only have about a dozen 7 friends , family and real friends;o)
Thanks for sharing. And thanks for visiting my place and taking the time to comment;o)

Hi there just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the images aren’t loading correctly.
I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue.
I’ve tried it in two different web browsers and both show the same results.
